petit fours how to

It's Spring!...for some.  That means afternoon tea and petit fours...also for some.  When I received an email from Foodzie full of beautiful photos on how to make petit fours I had to share.  Surely you have a tea party to attend soon and you'll be Queen of the party with these.

Step 1:  Bake cake



Step 2:  Cool cake and cut.  Keep Husband out of cake...



Step 3:  Make sugary frosting goodness



Step 4:  Pour sugary frosting goodness over cake that Husband didn't eat, cool and decorate


Enjoy with your girlfriends and champagne...I mean tea.

Looks like you've got the makings of a very cute afternoon tea/champagne gathering with your projects this week! This how-to is great -- one question though: any idea why you'd butter the dish first then add the parchment paper on top?
